We investigate the nucleation, annihilation, and dynamics of kinks in a classical (1+1)-dimensional Phi^4 field theory at finite temperature. From large scale Langevin simulations, we establish that the nucleation rate is proportional to…

In the present study the interaction of a sine-Gordon kink with a localized inhomogeneity is considered. In the absence of dissipation, the inhomogeneity considered is found to impose a potential energy barrier. The motion of the kink for…

In this work we investigate possible actions for antisymmetric two-tensor field models subject to constraints that force the field to acquire a nonzero vacuum expectation value, thereby spontaneously breaking Lorentz invariance. In order to…

We study a flavour-violating four-fermion interaction in the Lifshitz context, in 3+1 dimensions and with a critical exponent z=3. This model is renormalizable, and features dynamical mass generation, as well as asymptotic freedom. At…

We study the creation of solitons from particles, using the $\lambda \phi^4$ model as a prototype. We consider the scattering of small, identical, wave pulses, that are equivalent to a sequence of particles, and find that kink-antikink…

We consider kink-antikink collisions in the topological discrete sine-Gordon system. We find that the TDSG kink supports extra internal modes of vibration and this results in resonance effects of the kind seen for the continuum phi^4…

We simulate, using nonperturbative methods, the real-time dynamics of small bubbles of "false vacuum" in a quantum spin chain near criticality, where the low-energy physics is described by a relativistic (1+1)-dimensional quantum field…
